Llandegla Shooting Ground - 100 DTL (Welsh Qualifier) - May 13th 2007
Thanks must go to John Roberts and the jury for the way in which they conducted themselves in setting the targets for this event. Not only were the targets correct to angle - they were correct in every aspect of a thrown D.T.L. target and things ran like clockwork all day.
Weather conditions did play a small part in the odd barrel and missed target, but generally you had to work for your score.
Those competitors that shot a 100 straight or even a 99 x 297 - like Tom Devaney - should give themselves a pat on the back as this is the type of target that we will come up against at Bywell.
Veteran shooter Emrys Roberts again blasted another 100 but this time two points better than when he was down at South Wales - ending with a 298. Gary Beagen posted the same score as when he shot the county final a 297 (Llandegla must be a lucky ground for him).
Great to see some new faces coming into the sport such as Lee Turpin - who shot a 100 x 296 and must be one of the contenders for a top five finish.
Congratulations to Lee Jones who won the day with a full house 100 x 300 fantastic as this is the third 300 shot at the selection shoots this year LOOK OUT ENGLAND !!!!!
Well, done to all who took part
- we can't wait for the 20th of
May !

SW2000 Shooting Ground - 100 DTL - 2nd Welsh Qualifier -
April 8th 2007.
Mr Amodeo and his staff had obviously been working very hard on the
ground as the layouts and facilities were immaculate.
The weather could hardly have been better with a slight cool
breeze.....but bright sunshine ! The targets and angles were
also spot on !
G jenkins held an early lead with a 293, closely followed by R Millichamp
with a 292.
With the afternoon starters - some good scores were posted with E
Roberts on a 149,T Howells on a 146 and G Howells on a 147, all with
50 left to shoot ! Unfortunately,
T Howells and G Howells fell away on the last 50. E Roberts
put in a great final score of 100 ex 296 and was to win the overall
high gun for the shoot and the South Wales Championships - excellent
shooting and the title was well deserved. Here were the main standings at the end of the
day:
